Phishing attempt that worked......

Hi,
I accidentaly gave the password of my macbook pro as well as my gmail account password. I received a email from a friend and I gave my passwords believing I had to, in order to get his document through google drive.... I was very stupid... . Immediately, the same email I received was sent to all my contact on gmail and facebook. I changed all my passwords but I wonder if I should reinstall OSX to avoid any trouble... Thanks lot for your help

Your question is not clear.
If you are asking how to restore from an encrypted backup, the answer is ...
If you encrypt an iOS device backup in iTunes and then forget your password, you will not be able to restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable.
If on a Mac, & you elected to save the passcode to your Keychain, you can recover the passcode from your Keychain. Otherwise, your data is unrecoverable.
While you can continue to sync/backup, if you can't remember it & want to remove it, you'll have to delete your existing backups & restore the phone as a new device. Your data will be unrecoverable.

Can anyone recommend a good phishing extension that works on the macintosh version of firefox?

I'm working with an older lady who keeps giving up her password because her older lady friends keep sending her links. I think she finally gets not to click on the links but she is now very, very paranoid and would like that added security of a anti-phishing extension/add-on in Firefox. I looked a few of them but wasn't certain which one would work best for her based on using a Mac.

Hi,

safari 5.1 not loading MOST of the times. like 1 in 100 attempts it works fine, and that too, as long as you work in same window. and what's the webkit2webprocess.exe file?

the webkit2webprocess.exe has something to do with the sound. Safari works fine for me, except for the occasional time when the webkit2webprocess.exe crashes. Sometimes it crashes Safari altogether but sometimes it just reloads all the tabs I have opened. Either way, it's a huge pain. I hope they fix it with an update soon.

Hi.
We have an issue that some e-mails from our internal system that are sent through Rackspace Exchange are marked in Outlook 2007 as phishing attempts. Could you please advice me why? The header from one of such "phishing" e-mails is:

Hi Stepan,
Please try to add the sending addresses to the Outlook safe senders list and see if it works.

IWeb CPU usage, fix that worked for me

On my MacBook Pro having iWeb open and idling with my relatively simple site would cause my CPU usage to hover between 35% and 50%. Pretty disconcerting since I have a 2.66 i7 model and 8 gigs of RAM. Some pages on my blog have a decent amount of text and pictures and typing became a one letter at a time event since the program would just drag. Very annoying.
I did a lot of searching and finally found something today that worked for my situation. Since it took a bunch of time to locate a solution I figured I'd share it.
My problem ended up being a font issue. I opened up Font Book and saw several errors with duplicate fonts. Since there were a few I just did a select all and then selected resolve duplicates from the menu. To be safe I rebooted but that may not have been necessary.
Now iWeb idles between 5% and 10% which is much more reasonable. Not to mention now I can work on my site and have my battery last longer than an hour and a half!
Anyway, I hope this helps someone.

If doing so improved the situation, this confirms that one of Safari's database files has become corrupt and is causing the crashing, and this shows up in your crash log as Thread 3 having crashed.
The blacklists from Google’s Safe Browsing Initiative (where Safari checks for 'fraudulent websites') are contained in a database cache file called SafeBrowsing.db - the file was created when you first launched Safari 3.2, and if you have the browser open, the file is modified approximately every 30 minutes.
As an alternative to turning off 'Warn when visiting a fraudulent website', which will lose you that important security feature, you should delete that database file, (but first close Safari):
Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari (this is a folder)/SafeBrowsing.db
It will be recreated next time you open Safari, and will then start again collecting details of dodgy websites.

Yes, it's a scam. Do not call any phone number.
Helpful Links Regarding Malware Problems
If you are having an immediate problem with ads popping up see The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Guide, remove adware that displays pop-up ads and graphics on your Mac, and AdwareMedic. If you require anti-virus protection Thomas Reed recommends using ClamXAV. (Thank you to Thomas Reed for this recommendation.) You might consider adding this Safari extensions: Adblock Plus 1.8.9.
Open Safari, select Preferences from the Safari menu. Click on Extensions icon in the toolbar. Disable all Extensions. If this stops your problem, then re-enable them one by one until the problem returns. Now remove that extension as it is causing the problem.

Fix Some Browser Pop-ups That Take Over Safari.
Common pop-ups include a message saying the government has seized your computer and you must pay to have it released (often called "Moneypak"), or a phony message saying that your computer has been infected, and you need to call a tech support number (sometimes claiming to be Apple) to get it resolved. First, understand that these pop-ups are not caused by a virus and your computer has not been affected. This "hijack" is limited to your web browser. Also understand that these messages are scams, so do not pay any money, call the listed number, or provide any personal information. This article will outline the solution to dismiss the pop-up.
Quit Safari
Usually, these pop-ups will not go away by either clicking "OK" or "Cancel." Furthermore, several menus in the menu bar may become disabled and show in gray, including the option to quit Safari. You will likely have to force quit Safari. To do this, press Command + option + esc, select Safari, and press Force Quit.
Relaunch Safari
If you relaunch Safari, the page will reopen. To prevent this from happening, hold down the 'Shift' key while opening Safari. This will prevent windows from the last time Safari was running from reopening.
This will not work in all cases. The shift key must be held at the right time, and in some cases, even if done correctly, the window reappears. In these circumstances, after force quitting Safari, turn off Wi-Fi or disconnect Ethernet, depending on how you connect to the Internet. Then relaunch Safari normally. It will try to reload the malicious webpage, but without a connection, it won't be able to. Navigate away from that page by entering a different URL, i.e. www.apple.com, and trying to load it. Now you can reconnect to the Internet, and the page you entered will appear rather than the malicious one.

Phishing attempt via email.

I've just received an email from ''[email protected]'' telling me that my iCloud has been frozen and to click on a link on the email. The email has no Apple or iCloud branding included which made me very suspicious. Also I've just checked my icloud account which is not frozen. Just wanted to send a note out to warn other icloud account holders. I would also like to send the email onward to iCloud but cannot find a contact/ support email address... If anyone has contact details would gratefully receive them.

It is a phishing attempt. Do not respond. Do not divulge any personal or financial information. You can use the address below to forward the suspect email message to Apple.

All I want is a phone that works!

So, I am now on my 5th palm pre in less than 6 months. Everytime I get it repaired/exchanged, there is a new issue with the new phone. Last time, the phone wouldn't go silent...EVER... and the phone would light up and vibrate at its own will. So, I exchanged it last night just as the sprint store is closing. When i left the store, the doors locked behind me and I attempt a phone call only to find out that I can hear the person on the phone, but they can't hear me. This is how it came out of the box...literally within one minute of it being activated. I am going back to sprint today to try number 6 our and see how that works for me. My question is though, WHEN number 6 doesn't work, can I just tellspring that I don't want the phone anymore because, well, it does not and has not worked? Can I demand that they upgrade me? All I want is a phone that is reliable. Palm has clearly not been a good choice for that. I actually had the Palm Treo before and went through 4 of those. I thought that maybe it was me up until the last two replacements where the phone came out of the box not working...any insight would be greatly appreciated

I upgraded to Firefox 4.0 and now Norton 360 anti-phishing is not working.

Norton 360 anti-phishing will not work on web searches now that I have upgraded to Firefox 4.0. It will however still work when I use Internet Explorer. I rely on the anti-phishing part of Norton 360 to tell me what internet sites to avoid. Does anyone have a solution? My computer runs Windows XP. Thanks!

Looks that it is caused by a spurious '\' that is appended to the first line in the CSS file<br />
Firefox 6 sees that as the start of a selector (?) and ignores the body rule that follows..

How do I get the old java version (the one that worked) back

I just did the lastest OSX upgrade. OSX 10.7.   It did a few things to Java.
1) It removed the Utility to select a Java version to run (umm, so how am I supposed to pick Java 1.5 for some old Java 1.5 apps?)
2) It made some Java 1.6 applications that I need on my desktop to do my job not work.   Anyone heard of ScrumWorksPro.? Barfing on a laf.jar that's missing from the new 1.6 version
I can't seem to 'downgrade' back to the version that worked.   Does anyone have the zip file of the old version of Java that worked? If so, where do I unzip it to.   I'm fine with launching my app from a terminal, I just need the jvm files so I can. Looks like the installer (or my attempts to get rid of the new version by doing rm -r on every Java dir I could find) has gotten rid of the old version of Java.   I just can't seem to find the installer or the zip files to get the old version.
Help!

In Firefox 4 by default the Stop, Go and Reload (refresh) buttons are combined and attached to the right hand edge of the location bar.
When you are typing in the location bar it will show the Go button. When a site is loading it shows the Stop button. At other times it shows the Reload button.
If you want separate buttons, Control-click on a toolbar and choose Customize, you can then drag and drop the stop or reload buttons and place them elsewhere. If you place them in the order "Reload-Stop" on the right hand edge of the location bar they will be combined again. For more details on customizing the toolbar see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How+to+customize+the+toolbar

Does any one know of an MP3 player that works on Phones?

I'm looking for an MP3 player that works on mobile phones, multi-track player that lists out the songs. I've been using widgets from places like reverb nation, sound cloud, but I can't get them those show up on mobile phones.
Anyone have any suggestions?

These are playlist players which use flash.
To get these to work on iOS devices they need to fallback to HTML5.
The problem is that HTML5 has not been developed enough and there is no cross browser standard.
The JW player attempts to overcome this by using two different versions of the player skin - one for HTML5 and the other for flash.
The one shown on this page uses flash with fallback to HTML5 but I have no idea if it works on the iPhone...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Website-Music-Players/XML-Playlist.html
A test version using HTML5 with fallback to flash works in Safari but not with Chrome or Firefox.

Thanks fore the hint. Are you shure it´s from apple?
This popup is not a normal behavior and I can´t see if it comes from apple.
The is no hint on apple.com that its save and a wanted behavior.
Is it true that I have to put in 8 strings everytime I update an app?
my ID + PW
and question 1 - 3 + PW?

Just received a Phishing attempt for Quicktime 2009 How do I report?

I just received a obvious Phishing attempt email just hovering over the link has nothing to do with apple. And to beat it all I use a Mac and its for the windows version.
I'd like to send the email to an abuse or spoof@ address to apple. I hate stuff like this.

If this email came via a MobileMe account, you can report it to [email protected] You can also try [email protected], though I don't know if that is still a valid email address (reports are that it was at one time, but I haven't sent any message there myself).
